Megalithic Portal (Andy B)
@megalithic@archaeo.social  ·  activity timestamp 2 weeks ago

Duddo Five Stones: Art by Bladup, lots more in our Art section #StandingStoneSunday. This circle in Northumberland lies atop a hill surrounded by farmland. One of the stones was re-erected in the 1920s and Burl believes that it is probable that they have all been re-erected at some point. Burl wrote that the direction the stones face in the circle is wrong and that some of them rock under little pressure.

The Megalithic Portal's Top 15 Stone Rows in England: Something we did in our book The Old Stones, #StandingStoneSunday was to attempt objective ratings of the best of various types of megalithic monuments to visit in Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland. We did this by analysing numbers of visits, and ratings left for the various sites by visitors to the Megalithic Portal.

Lanyon Quoit near Madron in West Penwith, Cornwall, photographed from the south-south-east on 4 July 1993.

#LanyonQuoit #Cornwall #Penwith #Dolmens #Megaliths #StandingStoneSunday

Colour photo of Lanyon Quoit in Cornwall, a portal tomb or dolmen on the moors of West Penwith, taken in July 1993. The three remaining uprights support a capstone weighing some 12 tonnes, and is about 5½m long. The monument is surrounded by moorland and green vegetation and the moors in the background are covered in dense fog.

Swinside or Sunkenkirk #StoneCircle for #StandingStoneSunday. Taken by @mrowster with a point and shoot camera, about 20 years ago. #cumbria #neolithic #ModernAntiquarian

A photo of a stone circle with hills in the distance. The grass is a lush green colour. On one of the stones that has fallen down, I am laying-a white woman with long read dreadlocks in a denim jacket and jeans, and a striped scarf. I am looking up at the sky.
